THE Jets have received a massive boost ahead of the biggest game of their lives with key props Josh Seage and Rod Griffin getting the big thumbs up in the space of 24 hours.

As reported online by the QT on Wednesday night, rugged prop Griffin was cleared at the QRL judiciary of a dangerous contact charge. He will take his place in the side to tackle the Newcastle Knights in the Interstate Championship at ANZ Stadium on Sunday.

The news got better yesterday for the Jets with Seage, who was concussed in the first half of the Intrust Super Cup grand final win over the Blackhawks, cleared by club doctor Roy Saunders to also line up against the Knights.

Last night back-rower Kurt Capewell was in a moon boot at training but was still rated a 50/50 chance to play on Sunday and recover from an ankle injury he sustained in Sunday's grand final.

Co-coach Shane Walker is delighted Seage and Griffin are on board. Griffin's form has been outstanding throughout the year while Seage is a fine squad member.

"Josh is unsung and he is another one of our guys with great footy instincts," Walker said.
